please say a prayer for Chloe

linnie · 10-01-2005, 10:14 PM

As many of you know, Chloe has heart problems and today she took a turn for the worse.
Her resting heartbeat peaked at 170 at one stage then settled to 140 which is still way way to high

I rang the vet and she told me to keep her as calm as possible and if she doesnt settle I have to up the medication dosage.

I have had her laying on the bed with me for a few hours now and it has settled at around 120 still not great but better.

It has been nearly 3 years since her diagnosis so I know I have been lucky to have her this long but I am not ready to let her go yet she is still young

Only 10 1/2

So if you have a little time to spare can you please wing a prayer away for our darling little Chloe.

linnie · 10-02-2005, 03:00 AM

latest update...... I rang my local vet ( its a public holiday here

)
She said to keep her quiet and watch her. Nothing else to do.
I didnt much like that answer so I rang the specialist (so what if he was playing golf my girl is more important )
Actually he was great.. Spent heaps of time explaining to me the stages and the problems with her meds.
Shre has to take lofenoxal for her collapsing trachea and it has atrophine in it which counteracts the heart meds a little.
The upshot is her heart has reached the next stage of failure

He said he has just got a new ultrasound machine that will show us in colour all the flow of blood through the heart and also where damage is worse.
So I think I will have this done as he can then medicate her with accuracy.

Thankyou all for your prayers .
Chloe ate tea tonight and seems a little happier so heres hoping for more time with my baby

Crossfire Bulldogs · 10-02-2005, 03:14 AM

Glad shes doing ok and it sounds like the new ultrasound would be an awesome idea. Hang in there Chloe and hugs from the bullies.

Shadowkins · 10-02-2005, 07:17 AM

Wishing you both good news , soon.
Hang in there...I know it's hard but Chloe needs you , now, more than ever. Keeping you in my prayers.
